Dortmund v Schalke prediction
This may be the toughest prediction of the year. Who knows how players will react to the restart? It’s a derby game without a crowd, an end-of-season run-in clash from a standing start. Both sides will be pleased to come through it without any injuries, but Dortmund’s spritely forwards will be chomping at the bit to find their rhythm again.
Prediction: Dortmund 1-0 Schalke
